On Friday night, the Chicago Bulls are set to host the Orlando Magic. The Bulls will have the presence of one of their key players, as DeMar DeRozan is listed as available.
DeRozan, who missed the team’s previous game due to personal reasons, has returned to ensure he doesn’t miss consecutive matches.
In the 11 games he has played this season, DeRozan is maintaining averages of 21.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game.
His shooting percentages stand at 43.4% from the field and 32.0% from beyond the three-point arc.
The Bulls currently hold a 4-8 record in their initial 12 games, placing them tied for the 12th seed in the Eastern Conference.
Enduring a two-game losing streak, they most recently fell to the Magic with a score of 96-94 in their previous home game.
DeRozan, now in his third season with the Bulls, has earned NBA All-Star Game selections in each of his first two seasons with the team.
